Entire house with tranquil garden, cosy and private, by the river

Surrounded by stunning mountains and three beautiful rivers this lovely home is private, peaceful and relaxing with a large fully fenced outdoor area and tranquil veranda looking out across the reserve.
Situated in old established Albert Town with more space and peace, away from the hustle and bustle of Wanaka but only a 5 - 10 minute drive.

Walking and mountain-biking tracks are literally out the front and back doors! Great fishing, swimming and boating, this is a special place.
It’s a five minute walk to the Albert Town store, famous Pembroke Patisserie, restaurant and bar and a five minute drive to Wanaka township. Ski fields are 45 minutes drive, Lake Wanaka 5 - 10 minutes drive and Lake Hawea 15 minutes drive.

Comfortable beds and sofas, a great woodburner plus heatpump/air con make this a great house for both winter and summer.
Fully equipped kitchen with sharp knives and a dishwasher. Two fridge/freezers, laundry with washer and dryer plus both an iron and steamer.
Gas hot water, great showers and a full sized bath.

Very comfortable and clean with contemporary furniture and quality bedding with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and toilets, a large private back yard with plenty of relaxing outdoor furniture, BBQ, apple and peach trees.

Linen provided.
